sharston dont operate 194/6 as these are ex-bluebird routes usually a solo from middleton and 168 is wholly done by he with crew change at belle vue they have a lot of schools though using magic buses

well i took my info from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stagecoach_...r#Services

I would have thought wiki was the most accurate but.............the Arriva operations of the 22 (mentioned in the above wiki page) were taken over by Manchester Community Transport on 7th April (so there is an error even though the page was updated on 13th April)

Not sure if its been reported but the useage of Volvo Olympians on Magicbus work has now finished as Olympians 16795/8/9 plus another spare vehicle have now transferred to Middleton Depot for Schools, indeed I saw 16799 yesterday afternoon passing Royal Oldham Hospital with Oldham Academy North on the front (No service number)

If it is no bother can someone list the services that Hyde Rd. operate?

I assume they operate the 76, 15, 255, 142. Do they operate any of the Ashton or Stockport services?

They also operate the 219 and certain early morning and late afternoon 231's as well.
Not sure if they still operate any early morning 216's but they also operate the Friday/Saturday night late 216's and I think the N237 although that may have changed.

RE: Stagecoach Manchester
A very unusual rumour that stagecoach are planning to make more of a 'X' route presence starting with a route (possibly) linking the whole of the M60, from my reliable source but I don't quite believe it. The reliable source also said that each town/city or whatever the heck he said stagecoach had a presence in (Trafford Centre being an exception) the route would operate to, by a 'modern yet unknown coach'. I personally don't believe this rumour.
Any thoughts?

I think it is from the rear end of a bull too. If it were true I'd recon they'd call it 'The Loop' or something like that knowing Stagecoach. xD

Another thing is that if it serves every town/city that stagecoach operate in - that be one hell of a diversion from M60 To Wigan & Back.Unless your source ment it followed the M60 But went through the housing estates & everything (similer to NXWM 11/11A) but using M60 Itself i carnt see it

My friend probably meant following the M60 though he never said anything about Wigan so I'm not sure. Still don't believe it though :p
